Hello again

Hello ladies and gents 

Sorry for the delay over the past few days . I've been trying to get better from this kidney infection which I got to go home from hospital on Saturday but sadly got rushed back in this afternoon really poorly again. I'm currently writing this from my ED Bed until I get a ward bed. To be honest I feel a lot worse than I did before. So cannulas back in and fluids up and running again. 

Well I was in last week I had a chance to apply to companies to review some products to go on the blog. So far I've had around 10 companies agree to send out some products or vouchers/coupons to be able to purchase their products which in very excited about. 

I'm going to spend my evening hunting out other company's to contact. (This is the perks of been looked after in the hospital I work in- free staff wifi) 

I'm pretty serious about getting my blog up and running properly again and want to try and blog everyday.

So for now I'm going to try and get some sleep because morphine has completely zonked me.

I'll leave you with a few hospital snaps. Thank you 

Again

Apologies once again

Hello ladies and gentlemen

One again my sincere apologies for not having any posts up for a long time, to cut a long story short I've been in the middle of a move so haven't had much of a chance to write to company's in order to get some review products. 

I've started applying once again to get some so hopefully over the next few weeks I shall have some products to show off to you all. 

To catch up with my life I'm currently in hospital with a really bad kidney infection and kidney stones so I am having strong antibiotics and painkillers in order to get rid of them.  

I've got  a few freebies to put on a freebie post when I get home and few bits and pieces that I picked up along the way the past few months from various companies but nothing to major. 

So from here I shall say thank you for sticking by me and happy reading. 

Lauren

Pure Potions skin salvation Intensive Moisturising Ointment and Intensive Hand Cream

Hello Everyone and welcome back to my blog.

Today i am reviewing two products that were kindly sent to me Pure Potions. The 2 items sent were from their skin salvaltions range as i explained to them that i suffer from quite difficultly managed eczema. 

Pure Potions Kindly sent me their intensive moisturising ointment and the intensive hand cream.

i started using the intensive hand cream first as it seem to make more sense for during the day. i Always worry about using new skin products as my eczema is so sensitive and reacts at the mildest of creams. But as soon as I put the hand cream on my skin felt instantly relieved which I was shocked about. I was quite optimistic about using it now and I set my self a target of 7 days to give it a chance to work. And by day 3/4 you could hardly tell I had eczema anymore. I was using the hand cream along side the intensive moisturising ointment at night which I will now move on to in my review. 

As I said before I'm quite skeptical about new skin creams and ointments but I can honestly say I am so impressed by the results of the ointment. I limited myself to using only overnight so I could give it the overnight time to moisturise and soften my skin. At first I will be honest I thought it was slightly greasy but once it had soaked in a bit the ointment felt just like a normal cream and wasn't too heavy. 

When I woke up in the morning my skin was impressively soft and there was a dry patch in sight. 

Overall i am thoughly impressed by both products as will certainly be prepared to purchase them in the future, As I work in a hospital I find constant hand washing is the only down side so having the hand cream available in a small size was really handy to keep in my pocket to use as required after washing my hands a few times. 

I once again want to thank pure potions for allowing me to try these two products and will be willing to try any Future products they may have in the future. 

Thank you for reading

Munchy seeds

Hello and welcome back to my blog.

I was kindly sent some lovely goodies from munchy seeds a few weeks back its just taken a while to get it write up.

The lovely people sent me the following:

2 packs of super sprinkles

A pack of omega sprinkles 

A pack  of honey sprinkles 

A pack of chilli sprinkles 

A pack of choccy gingers 

A pack of chocolate apricot 

A pack of roasted sprinkles 

And a full size tub of crunchy bites

So far I've try the chilli sprinkles, the roasted sprinkles and the chocolate apricots. I found these really tasty especially the chilli ones which weren't overly spicy as I'm not keen on spicy food. They filled me up quite nicely and were handy to put in my hand bag for the train I was on. I also enjoyed the choccy apricots as I'd never tried anything like this before and they gave me boost after doing some exercise. 

The honey sprinkles I actually gave away due to having a serious honey allergy. 

I'm really looking forward to trying the rest of the goodies that were sent to me over the next coming weeks. 

Thank you once again to munchy seeds for sending me these lovely treats. 

Thanks for reading guys

pulsin and beond bar review

Beond and pulsin review

Hello girls and guys

Just a quick review on a company I wrote to called pulsin and beond. They are a company that make natural snack and protein bars.From what I have read they are a fairly new company but also I've never seen them in any of the local health food shops. Here is an extract that's been taken from the pulsin and beond website.

About Pulsin'

At Pulsin' we make natural protein bars, protein powders and healthy treats that are as good for you as they taste. Packed full of natural ingredients and organic goodness, our products are free from nasties, high in protein and low GI, making them perfect for the whole family.

Our dream is to...

• Give people superpower through health-boosting energy foods
• Make incredible-tastingproducts that don't cost the earth
• Lead the pack when it comes to product development
• Contribute to a happy, healthy world filled with happy, healthy people

Our products

We use only the most high-quality natural ingredients, never compromise on taste, and never add anything artificial (including GM ingredients). Our range of natural protein bars, plant-based protein powders and healthy treats are dedicatedly designed to:

• Give you sustained energy release
• Strengthen your immune system
• Make you feel fuller for longer
• Support healthy body function
• Boost your brainpower
• Enrich your life

We use a lot of protein. Why you might ask?
Well, your body needs protein nearly as much as your lungs need air. Protein is essential for healthy body function, strong muscles, healthy skin, nails and hair.

Athletes often use protein to build muscle mass and to power their workouts.
Protein is also needed to keep your immune system functioning at full throttle and to fight off infection, which is why it's often used as a supplement to support people recovering from illness.

Adding protein to your diet also helps balance out blood sugar levels, helping you avoid those horrible mid-afternoon slumps. And, as if that wasn't enough, protein can also help support a weight-loss diet as it helps the body burn fat and can stave off hunger pangs between meals.

Our products are especially great for:

• Sports people looking for a pre- or post-exercise boost
• People watching their weightand looking to burn fat without losing muscle
• Children who are hungry between meals
• Busy mums on the go needing a natural energy lift
• Anyone recovering from illness

They were very quick at sending the bars out to me after I emailed them. 

I received 3 different flavour bars: the beond organic açai berry flavour, the  pulsin almond and raisin raw choc brownie and the pulsin mint choc chip protein bar. 

The first bar I tried was the açai berry bar. I wasn't looking forward to trying it as its main ingredient was dates and I'm not keen on them. I opened the packet and was hit by the really fruity smell which was actually quite nice :) 

I took one bite of it but really wasn't all that keen on it but I'm not sure if that was the fruity taste or the texture of it, i left that bar after one bite. 

The next bar I tried was the almond and raisin raw choc brownie. 

This bar was completely different to the first bar, it was much more dense and had an amazing taste to it.even though it contained dates you couldn't taste then in this bar. It actually tasted like a proper chocolate brownie that you would get in a supermarket or bakery. The almonds in it gave it the most amazing crunch added extra flavour. This was definitely better than the first one. 

The final bar was the mint choc chop protein bar. It was smaller than the other two bars at only 25g. I was instantly hit by the minty smell.  

This bar was more like a fudge consistency. It was really yummy and the cereal bits in the bar made it taste even better. I didn't finish off any of the bars at the time of the review but I can definitely say that my favourite was the almond and raisin brownie and I'm definitely considering buying this one again if I can find it in health food shops. 

Here is the link for the pulsin website Check it out and contact them and see if you can try their products.
